Not much of a workout, 2 miles walking on the railtrail. Walking without heel striking feels a little weird, the only thing I can compare it to is the way you'd walk if you were in bad need of a bathroom...
Finished with push-ups and sit-ups.
D.H., I deleted my Facebook account a while ago, so don't have access to your page.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Rich, maybe don't walk that way when other people are around. Now that we are getting up there in age, people may think your Depends are full.
No workout today, too depressed. Maybe tomorrow.
Dark Horse
I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course.
Thankfully, the railtrail is quiet most of the time. I think when most people see me running, they figure I'm an escapee from the local nursing home anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to figure I've had an "accident" as well.
Anyway D.H., my Plantar Fasciitis seems to be showing a SLIGHT improvement. If this works, I don't care WHAT it looks like... lol

Rich, reminds me of a true story. A friend of mine lives in Watertown near Boston. He has no place to park his car, so he usually parks it in a nearby schoolyard. Nobody seems to mind unless it snows and they need to plow the school parking lot.
So one recent winter, it snows overnight. Pellie (short for his last name) wakes up very early in the morning, it's still dark out, and realizes he better move his car or it may get towed from the lot (or crushed by the snow plow).
So Pellie staggers out of bed half-awake, throws on his ratty old bathrobe and a pair of slippers, and exits the front door into the night-time winter wonderland. While he is walking the block to the schoolyard through the snow, a police patrol car rolls up and the cops lower their window. "Can we help you?" they say. They see an old unshaved man wandering around in the twilight in his bathrobe and slippers, and figure they have a wanderer, someone with Alzheimer's or something like that, who has slipped away from his keepers. It took some explaining before they would let him go on his way.

Thanks for the laugh this morning D.H., that's a riot! lol
And I have to add, the overnight transformation of my sore foot is amazing, it's ALMOST pain free! I've been preaching right along the quickest way to get over an injury is through active recovery and I think I've found what works for Plantar Fasciitis.
I'm going to Duckwalk again today, stay tuned...

Rich, you gave me a good laugh too, I've been trying "active recovery" with my plantar fasciitis for almost four years now. Good luck with that, and I hope it works better for you than it has for me. (All the experts say, REST your plantar fasciitis, with plenty of stretching.)

D.H., I remember a while ago you saying you'd only been wrong once in your life, but then that turned out not to be true...lol
And noooo... experts don't just recommend rest. They also recommend things like swimming, eliptical machines and biking as alternative ways to stay active while you waste your life away waiting for your Plantar Fascia to heal.
Anyway, get ready to admit you're wrong about Duckwalking, it's destined to be THE way to cure Plantar Fasciitis.
Again, stay tuned...

I suppose you think that's funny, eh D.H.? You're RIGHT! lol
